"clear". Now that I can see how it's implemented, I can make a "break-out"

box to do the same thing and plumb it into the Heil adaptor lead. It will

become very similar to the Yaesu parrot.

More calls to add to my "heard on eme" list today: ZL3TY on FSK, plus OK1MS

and IK3MAC on CW (unless tropo was much better than I believe it was).

CQ Caller (Digital Recording Unit)

My first notes on the TS-2000 on 5th December referred to possible

difficulties in running WSJT (experienced by others), and I also made some

comments about the digital recording unit. Here's a small update:-

I now have a good number of JT65 2m EME qso's completed, using the TS-2000 driving a valve amplifier. Contrary to views by others, I've had no problem at all in
obtaining the correct levels and frequency response. No

modifications were needed. My interface is by G3LIV. It's necessary to make

several connections onto a 13pin DIN - I struggled but got there with

patience.

The digital recording unit has been the source of many emails lately on the

Yahoo TS-2000 reflector. It seems I am not the only one to think it could

work better. Problem 1: The level from the DRU is not the same as the level

from the microphone. Problem 2: There is a hum or buzz on the recorded

signal. It doesn't affect readability at a distance, but it doesn't sound

has been on my "to do" list for a while. It would have been sorted earlier

but I needed a source of 2 hole N Types at a sensible price. Ended up

importing some from RF Parts.

Kenwood have a modification board that can be added to the 23cms unit to

correct the tx bias volts on the M57762. I have recently had this fitted by Kenwood UK and I've confirmed the bias is now correct. I can also confirm that it
does not look like a job most of us could do at home.
